Konami has announced an exclusive pre-order incentive for its forthcoming MGS Ground Zeroes for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Xbox One and Xbox 360.

Scheduled to be released on March 21st, Ground Zeroes will receive exclusive content, including Mother Base Staff for use with The Phantom Pain’s Mother Base. The Mother Base is introduced during the events of Ground Zeroes but plays a central role in the forthcoming The Phantom Pain.

The pre-order DLC codes will be provided via a printed insert within physical copies of Ground Zeroes. Digital versions will access the pre-order DLC automatically upon loading The Phantom Pain. Once the DLC content is unlocked, users will have access to exclusive Mother Base items that will give Ground Zero users a key advantage when they embark on The Phantom Pain.

Konami has also detailed key links between Ground Zeroes and The Phantom Pain. Although details on The Phantom Pain's scenario are as-yet unrevealed, any characters or POWs rescued within Ground Zeroes will be available within The Phantom Pain. Similarly, players will be able to use their save game from Ground Zeroes to help establish a Mother Base in The Phantom Pain, while actions made when rescuing hostages, POWs, and specific characters will all have important repercussions later on.

All four versions of the game will also benefit from an accompanying iDROID App. Accessible via iOS, Android, and Smart Glass systems, the iDROID service acts as a second game screen and syncs with the main action. It can be used to show a map of the world and summon air support, while any cassettes found in the game can also be played via the App, and it will also show your global ranking in terms of mission success.
